A very shy fruiting species so not often encountered and also restricted to the better sites. Stipe is yellow with brown fibrils, gills generally yellow but can be orange. The brown conical cap is incredibly distinctive! 0202

Although not useful for CHEGD grassland assessments, good to know this species exists. Red conical cap that blackens only slightly, generally at the tip. Grows in coastal sand dunes with acuticonica and members of the conica agg. 0151

The name comes from the smell, very strong of swimming pool chlorine. Cap colour varies from grey to nearly black and overall size is also really variable. The stipe is generally a bit chunky. An uncommon species. 1183

Reposted by @hygrocybe.bsky.socialmattrjones.bsky.social @mattrjones.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Waxcap 20 - Jubilee Waxcap (Gliophorus reginae). One of our rarest species and an absolute stunner 😍 Only named in 2012 and from a British specimen, the name comes from it then being the Jubilee. Colours differ from Parrot and gill attachment from Heath. Only in our best unimproved grasslands. 112311

Reposted by @hygrocybe.bsky.socialHelen Baker @helenbaker.bsky.social · 17/10/2025It's waxcap season - fungi of nutrient poor grasslands that tend to peak in late autumn. This is the Date Waxcap, Hygrocybe spadicea, from grassland within the Balmoral estate. It is a rare species and an indicator of high quality fungi (CHEGD) grassland. #FungiFriday 0171
